This family fun under the sun event drew in not only new comers to the neighborhood but families that have been living here for over 30 years. Although it was such a hot day the atmosphere remained extremely fun for the families.

Tony Fino, has been serving Highland Park from his ice cream truck for over thirty years, he says he wouldn’t want to do it in any other part of LA because of the love he has for the community.

From a young age I have always had the innate desire and passion to create. Having my parents in the entertainment industry my childhood was spent living and visiting various cities around the world. Not only was this a huge privilege, but it was also what planted the seed of curiosity and fascination about the world around me. As an only child I found most of my adventures were by myself, the only way to share the moments I had experienced was to capture it through disposable cameras that were given to me. The exploration of these mini adventures led me to find what came so naturally to me, the ability to tell a story through my eyes and the lens of a camera. From that moment on, all bets were off. I tried every angle, macro, micro, laying on the ground, up on buildings, night, day, whatever it took to understand and improve my ability to share these unique moments.
